London: Coldplay frontman Chris Martin says his children don’t listen to the band and he doesn’t force his songs on anyone in his family.
The 34-year-old English musician also says he wants his kids, daughter Apple, seven, and son Moses, five, with wife Gwyneth Paltrow – to be proud of his musical achievements.
“My children made me focused on not wasting time on anything I don’t think is worth wasting time on. So that’s affected my editing process.
You don’t want to spend months and months doing something and have it turn out terrible. You want your kids to be proud, basically. So it gives you extra drive,” he said.
Meanwhile, Coldplay have announced they will be streaming a live show, directed by award-winning filmmaker Anton Corbijn, from the Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas arena in Madrid, Spain, as part of the ‘American Express Unstaged’ livestream music series.
“Anton Corbijn has been a big hero to us for a long, long time so we’re thrilled to be beaming this concert out to the world through his cinematic lens,” Martin said.
“We can’t wait to share this experience with him and with all of our fans watching ‘American Express Unstaged’ around the world. It’s going to be special,” he added. The 2011 ‘American Express Unstaged’ performance will be live-streamed on October 26 on Youtube. (PTI)
